KGW's web site blindly picked up the story as is (from MSNBC?). I wrote them as follows:
My goodness, what sloppy "journalism"! Your pick up of an MSNBC story about a TriMet driver cited for multiple driving violations [ http://www.kgw.com/news/TriMet-bus-driver-116710549.html ] blindly used the headline that states "driver fired...". If you read your own story you'll notice that he was suspended from driving, not summarily fired. Could it lead to firing? Possibly - but do you know that already?
It's the equivalent of saying "Guilty criminal arrested."
Let's allow for the pretense of due process in our brave new world of slagging bus drivers.

Note the disparity of headline to actual story!
